Happy Birthday Karena!


This birthday card is for my son's girlfriend, Karena.  She just happens to be an artist.  
She painted us a beautiful oil painting of our grandson for Christmas.

The image is from Saturated Canary.  Papers are from Stampin' Up.  
The splotches are supposed to be paint spills.  Hopefully, that's what they look like.

I colored her with Copics,

Copics:  B12, BG02, BG05, BG07, C00, C0, C1, C2, 
E00, E02, E08, E11, E13, E15, E17, G02, G03, G05, 
R05, R11, R32, R35, Y02, Y04, Y18

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

    Dianne, your splotches do indeed look like paint spills and at first glance my thought was that this was a special card for an artist. I love how you have shown an artists love for colour in your bright papers too. I imagine that this card will be very appreciated by your son's girlfriend.

    Thank you for sharing this lovely card in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )
